We had our Boys and Girls Club “kids” this morning for brunch at our house. They are no longer kids, but we think of them as “ours.” We’ve known them for 9-10 years, watched them grow up, go to college or vocational training, get jobs, and now many are settled in their jobs, and getting promoted. It is a joy for us to see each of them and hear what is going on in their lives! David is in medical school in Maryland and joined us via FaceTime. He is starting residency rotations in January. Paola is graduating from UA this month and planning to go to law school in the fall of 2025. She is engaged and planning her wedding for 2024. Paola has been working at the same law firm for 6-7 years. Her fiance is an engineer from Texas, working in public works construction for a private company. Meybelyn has been working at Tucson Medical Center over 5 years. She was promoted this year. Her husband works in the medical diagnostics business. They have a four year old son. Karla manages scheduling for a surgeon. Alan is an academic advisor in the Psychology Department at the University of Arizona. Rudy is an architect, working in mineral mining design for a Tucson company. His sister, Sabrina, is in her senior year at the University of Arizona, majoring in Accounting. We hope to get together again after Christmas, when Tatiana is in Tucson (she is currently visiting her grandmother in Cameroon).
